Sleeping on a firm surface increases the ability to relax and go into deeper sleep. It does this by: 1) Optimizing breathing by opening chest and abdomen, 2) stimulating the Relaxation Response by providing a biofeedback loop between the surface and the body, and 3) providing a natural re-alignment mechanism for the spine and joints.

Recently a friend of mine told me she was laying on a boulder along a creek and she thought of me and my crazy method of sleeping on a hard surface. She realized, just like I said, she was somehow able to become extremely relaxed even though it was a boulder of all things. "How does that work?" she asked. "I had nothing at all and I became extremely calm. I even fell asleep for awhile."
I explained to her the discovery I made that not only changed my life but that of thousands of others who followed my progress in the paleo community. What started out as a personal experiment and quest for better sleep and health became the standard setter in an area that had not been previously explored.
We're all familiar with barefoot walking by now. And also, the idea that our modern environment--including shoes--often deprives us of natural movement and other things like sunlight. Sleeping on a hard surface is akin to barefoot walking.
I was intuitively drawn to the floor and the ground. As a teenager I started sleeping outside my apartment complex in Lawrence, Kansas, dragging sleeping bag and groundcloth onto the dew or frost covered grass. At the same time, I started wearing moccasins or going barefoot and was fascinated at everything that could bring me closer to the ground and the elements.
